Folate is needed to make DNA and healthy red blood cells, and is especially important before and during early pregnancy. Some people convert folic acid into its active form less efficiently. Metafolin® L-5-MTHF is already active, so the body can use it straight away.
What’s inside
1,000 mcg Metafolin® L-5-MTHF (1,667 mcg DFE) per capsule.
How to take
1 capsule daily with a meal, or as advised by your doctor.
Good to know
- Vegetarian capsules; hypoallergenic
- A higher-dose folate, usually taken on medical advice
- High-dose folate can hide a vitamin B12 deficiency: please check your B12 with your doctor
- Check with our doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicine for epilepsy or methotrexate
